Is it better to file jointly or separately?
If you suspect your spouse is being dishonest, is involved in some criminal activity, or can't pay their tax liability, it is better to file separately. Also, if you need or want to keep your finances secret from your spouse, it is better to file separately. In terms of the amount of tax you will pay, it is rarely, if ever, advantageous to file separately. The tax rates are higher and you lose many tax benefits such as the ability to make a full Roth IRA contribution. But if you want to be sure you aren't one of the .000001% of cases where it is better to file separately, calculate your taxes both ways and see. However, some states (most notably Ohio) have a quirk in their tax laws that might make filing separately better in certain cases. But these states require you to file the same way as you filed your federal taxes. In that case, you need to calculate whether the state tax savings make up for the extra federal taxes you'll be paying.
